The City Tested Me Again | 4AM Cycling POV

At 4AM, the city moves differently. A bus and I fall into the same rhythm through an empty intersection. Two more buses close the road ahead, but the streets stay calm. A lone stranger gets a quiet "good morning." Police continue their patrol. Cats wander through the silence. Then one black cat is sitting in the middle of the road. I turn back, stop, and wait until she's safely off the asphalt before continuing. Nothing here was planned. Just another night learning what the streets are willing to teach. Street Literate.
